Google Maps is one of the most useful apps today. It can be tremendously beneficial for getting directions of locations we have never been to and finding nearby places. However, there is a lot more that you can do with Google Maps. A small but useful feature that Google Maps has is that it can save parking location of your vehicle.

If you often find yourself in a difficult position looking for your car after spending the day at a mall or watching movies, we are here to help you. Here’s how you will be able to save your parking location on Google Maps app:
